(Get the code!)
Let's say I'm running the Lucid alphas but the PPA only offers up to Karmic.
add-apt-repository does not let me specify Karmic and if I use the command as designed, a deb/deb-src line for a non-existent Lucid repo is added to my source list rather than the desired Karmic repo.
In order to get the Karmic repo, I have to add the deb/deb-src manually or through the GUI without automagically getting the necessary GPG keys.
